Sorry been out of town visiting family.

I picked it up in March of 2013. My plan was going to be a trail and cruise around town vehicle. since has became more trail than cruise. I bought it had no motor but the 4 spd trans was still in it.

had nice new carpet in it and was dark when I finally got to it and and did not see the rust everywhere. It did have some pop riveted stuff covering the big holes.

everybody needs too bend some linkage every now and then.

Image

as soon as I figure out how to put up some videos I will.

little carnage from meb 2015
Image
 
her first ever start short vid I know but I was tickled pink all the time and effort paid off.
https://www.
https://www.
her first wheeling trip on tires with no tread just to pass inspection. the meats she had are so dry they would not pass them. they still held air and made my first roundup.
https://www.
first time she moves on her own
https://www.
now that I figured out how to do it I will get some more up I know I'm not anywhere near the front of this pack. but so much fun anyway.
 
what she looks like right now blew the high pressure steering line off the pump last trip out and was messing with it then the snow came in. never shut the hood all the way
Image

Image

we are at about a foot now calling for another 8-10 we shall see. its been changing from snow to sleet to ice so i think that will bring out total down but does not make the roads any better.
 
still new to this posting videos thing so i did not want to kill a whole thread till I got it figured out. I may have had a couple to many after i posted last time and could not remember:beer:smilie_slap

just trying to keep them short have a bunch but figured if I ever get to do this again I can have them for that.
it will get better stuff one day but maybe when its broke. I like to play with it to much to pull her away for too long.

not too bad for an entire home built suspension and reused parts.
locker in the front will be her first big thing that open and supposed limited slip not working for me.

here is one from when she was first running some of the stupid things me and my brother do... have to love the happy nephew in the background.

congrats to the winner this will probably be my last post for the fotm.
I'm tickled to death to be nominated and get to run against such fine machines.

here is one of a couple pictures, I know the bronco is not very visible but you have to make sure the gm's get home too. especially when they are family

Image


raleigh its flat as a pancake around here. :toothless we just have trees. its not the west coast but I like green stuff on my mountains.
Image

Image
